Nice photo Low. You always seem to find good subject matter. I like the placement of the truck in the frame. Color and clarity are good and tech aspects spot on as usual. I like the tree in the front frame but find the barbed wire and green bush to be a little distracting in an otherwise outstanding shot.

Comment from Maglatron


There's a saying in Australia between two of the major car companies; it goes HOLDEN is for Hope Our Luck Doesn't End Now and FORD is First On Race Day. I'm certain that this photo would appeal to all those Holden fans who would use the saying Found On Rubbish Dump!

She must have been a beauty in her day though, they just don't make working equipment look beautiful anymore. I love that the items of beauty like the chrome is still intact, it adds to the story of the photo for me. This photo is more of a story for me than a visual piece.

Incredible! I love these shots that you produce of subjects that are on the surface ordinary objects but have through time become so full of character and almost a testement to , in my opinion, a nicer, simpler way of life that is being left behind! Fantastic!

Nice old crap you got here, have you ever though about a community clean up? LOL this is nice except that wire across the middle very distracting. Love the brush around it though, nice Deb.

Comment from Papa


LowRider, I think this is of an earlier time then the Ford I recently posted. And, I can find nothing at all to bitch about with this photograph. Even the close cropping seems to work well since the vehicle is hemmed in by the bush enveloping it. What a wonderful paine job mother nature managed, and you have recorded it very well indeed. Very sharp and well exposed image.
Peace, Papa

Comment from Bob Boynton


Love the Nastalgia here in this shot. With minimal work you could have cloned away the top barbed wire in this shot. Other that that the shot has real appeal.

Comment from Jimmy The Saint


I love the colour of the vehicle, it really stands out against the greys and the greens. I only wished maybe the pic had been taken a bit further back so there was more of a background for it to stand out of. I really like it though LR : )
